If the wise men were just a little wiser...

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In the story this cartoon is based on, the three wise men are traveling to see the newborn Jesus, believing Him to be the new King of the Jews according to some astronomical prophecy. On the way there, they stop to see Herod, the current king of the Jews, who's disturbed by the news that there's a new king. He asks the wise men to come back to him once they find this "new king" so he can also go and do Him homage, but his actual intentions are to send soldiers to kill Jesus once he knows His location. The wise men don't catch onto his evil scheme, but after they find Jesus and share gifts with Him, they're warned in a dream to return home by another way so Herod can't figure out exactly where Jesus is. In this cartoon, Herod's scheme is slightly less subtle.

The Pilgrimage of the Magi

1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is the One having been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

3 And King Herod having heard this, was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And having assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them where the Christ was to be born.

5 And they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus has it been written through the prophet:

6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come forth One leading, who will shepherd My people Israel.’”

7 Then Herod, having called the Magi secretly, inquired of them the exact time of the star appearing. 8 And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, “Having gone, search carefully for the Child; and when You shall have found Him, bring word back to me, so that I also having come, may worship Him.”

9 And having heard the king, they departed. And behold, the star they had seen in the east went before them until, having arrived, it stood over the place where the Child was. 10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down, they worshiped Him. And having opened their treasures, they offered to Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

12 And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew into their own country by another route.

The Flight to Egypt (Hosea 11:1-7)

13 And of them having withdrawn, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream saying, “Having arisen, take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I should tell you, for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”

14 And having arisen, he took the Child and His mother by night and withdrew into Egypt, 15 and there he remained until the death of Herod, so that it might be fulfilled what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I have called my Son.”

The Slaughter of Infants (Jeremiah 31:1-30)

16 Then Herod, having seen that he had been outwitted by the Magi, was intensely enraged. And having sent forth, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its vicinity from two years old and under, according to the time he had ascertained from the Magi. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, saying:

18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are not.”

The Return to Nazareth (Isaiah 61:1-11; Matthew 13:53-58; Mark 6:1-6; Luke 2:39-40; Luke 4:16-30)

19 But of Herod having died, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, “Having arisen, take the Child and His mother and go into the land of Israel; for those seeking the life of the Child have died.”

21 And having arisen, he took the Child and His mother and came into the land of Israel. 22 And having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew into the district of Galilee. 23 And having come, he dwelt in a city being called Nazareth, so that it should be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophets, that “He will be called a Nazarene.” — Matthew 2 | Berean Literal Bible (BLB) The Berean Literal Bible © 2016 by Bible Hub and Berean Bible.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 2:13-23)

The littlest, the lowly, the least, the lost, the lonely, and the last, all matter.

Nazareth Village, Israel When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was…

MATTHEW S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 2

Friday, 2/16/24

SCRIPTURE:

After they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt. ~ Matthew 2:13-14

OBSERVATION:

"...the angel of the Lord appeared...in a dream..." - again... (and once more to Joseph later on in this chapter and to the Wise Men as well) -

...and in all three cases it was about going...

...and once again, "...he got up..." and went...

...taking his family with him... (Am I leading or taking my family where I am being told to go?)

"...during the night..." - quietly, for "protection" from Herod, of course, but at the same time, not all "look at what I'm doing because the Lord told me to do it..." - and still it "made it" into the story... (Do I do what I'm instructed to do "during the night" to keep from drawing attention to me and instead point to His leading me and mine through the darkness?)

APPLICATION:

Once again -

wake up

get up

and go...

...take my family with me...

...through the daylight of good things and the night-darkness of not knowing anything but Him and His leading...

PRAYER:

Leading Father God - I confess sleeping through many of Your instructions, and finding myself wandering instead of following the clear path of Your way and will... I am thankful for Your Holy Spirit's guidance and call that brings me stumbling back to where You would have me, one step at a time, going in the direction Jesus set in Your grace and for Your glory... In His Name, and for Your praiseful worship...

Waking up, getting up, and going in Him...

Why we need the wisest gifts this Christmas

Is gift giving a chore, chore, or even a mystery to you? Over a hundred years ago, an unknown writer explained it in a simple story you must read.

updated December 11, 2023 Whether you go to a Christian church or not, you likely are familiar with the Christmas story in the Bible as it is depicted in the Nativity. Nativity is a fancy way to say “birth,” but is especially used to refer to the birth of Jesus Christ. A young couple named Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem for the Roman census. Mary, pregnant, unexpectedly delivered a baby…

Celebration and Lament (Matthew 2:13-18)

Not everyone views the birth of Jesus with joy; there are others who see it as a threat and want to stamp it out.

Coptic Church depiction of the holy family in Egypt Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt and remained there until…
